Common Questions

Please see the Contact Us section if you have additional questions for us!

Is the Bless A Grave company locally owned?

Yes. Bless A Grave is a woman-owned, family business based in Rochester, Minnesota. It is owned and operated by Jennifer Boysen.

Is the Bless A Grave company insured?

Yes. Bless A Grave is insured.

Is cleaning safe for older, historic stones?

Yes. We use conservation-trusted solutions and methods for all stones and adjust our process to be especially gentle for fragile or historic markers.

How will I know the work was completed?

We send a message with before and after photos directly to you with every visit.

My loved one's cemetery isn't in your service area. Can I still use your services?

We currently service most counties in SE MN and one small area in IA, but we are happy to take requests for additional towns/cemeteries/counties to include in our service area. Although we may not be able to extend to your requested location immediately, we will keep it in our requests for when we're able to expand. Use our Contact Us section to send us a note about the area you'd like to see on our list!

Current SE MN counties in our service area: Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Houston, Goodhue, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha, Winona. We have not expanded into the SE counties of Rice or Waseca yet.

Are your services limited to people with certain religious beliefs?

Not at all! Bless A Grave will respectfully service your loved ones' final resting places regardless of religious beliefs or affiliation.

How do I get started with your services?

Our process is centered around our clients and most of our services require a personalized quote.

To get your request started, review the services we offer and then navigate to the Request Gravesite Care section.

Our Service Menu can be accessed in multiple ways on our website, but the fastest way is to click the Service Menu link at the bottom of this page.
You'll find the Request Gravesite Care section at the bottom of the Service Menu, which describes the simple process.

What if I don't live nearby?

That's exactly why many families use our services - we handle everything for you and communicate along the way.

What if I don't know where in the cemetery my loved one is buried?

If you’re unsure where your loved one is located within a cemetery, we can add-on our locator service to locate the site and provide you with GPS coordinates—so you can always find them again.

What solutions, tools, and equipment do you use to clean the stones?

Our main goal is to ensure we do not damage the beautiful stone or bronze marker. We use lots and lots of water, and sometimes we even use a little Dawn dish soap to get the grime off. The other liquid solution we use is D/2, which is a biological solution that is biodegradable, non-toxic, leaves no harmful residues, and works to restore the beauty of the monument. D/2 is trusted by architects and conservators to clean and protect historical monuments, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, The White House, and The Alamo. The tools and equipment we use are soft cloths, soft brushes, non-abrasive sponges, soft brooms/sweeps, smooth bamboo, and flat nylon tools. We occasionally hand-trim any long grass next to the monument/marker with a grass shear, and on rare occasions, a metal tool may be used on an area of grass next to a flat marker to prevent overgrowth. We do not use abrasives, wire brushes, or metal tools on the monuments or markers. We also do not power-wash monuments or markers.

Do you collaborate with cemeteries/cemetery leadership?

Yes, we love to collaborate with Cemetery Owners, Caretakers, and Cemetery Boards, for many reasons!

First, we want to ensure we're following cemetery rules and regulations that are in effect, and we welcome a working relationship so that you feel comfortable about the work we do in your cemetery. As the owner, I have reached out to many cemeteries, but if you have not heard from me and would like to meet, please contact me (info in last paragraph)!

Bless A Grave will also collaborate with cemeteries for cemetery-funded and/or cemetery-coordinated group orders for services such as professional cleaning, gravesite upkeep, or holiday decoration placements/removals.

Note: Depending on type of service and volume of work contracted with a cemetery, it may be possible to occasionally serve cemeteries outside of our current service area in SE MN.

Cemetery Owners, Caretakers, and Cemetery Boards may directly contact Jennifer Boysen, the owner of Bless A Grave, to meet and discuss any and all relevant topics and to provide updated rules and regulations for the cemetery.
